What a silly article!

What is its foundation, even? Miserabilism (“there are no special occasions in life woth celebrating”)? Puritanism (“spending much on food is sin”)? Stale as-if feminism (“men only go to fancy restos when they want to fuck. Women… they don’t have the money or the need”)? Weird class struggle stuff (“the proletariat does not like fancy food, not can it afford it”)? I’ll be fucked if I know.

Young man, I don’t know what you’re spending your money on, but I know plenty of folks here in Europe who don’t own a car or any real estate, use a five year old phone and an eight year old computer, yet they are perfectly OK with spending $300 on a twelve-course lunch at Alain Passard in Paris, because they think it is one of the most exciting things one can do, and that such a meal is a celebration of our civilization.

By the way, your article about needing at least six meals a day is lousy too, because it pretends to be based on science, yet it totally ignores all the recent evidence in regards to intermittent fasting.
